I read a lot of blogs every day. Usually though, it’s just the same 20 blogs because that’s all the time I have for them. When I come across a new blog though, it kind of sucks you in! I find myself perusing through pages and pages and if it’s a great blog, I’ll go deep into the archives for it. I came across a blog today called Los Angeles I’m Yours and was instantly reminded of my bff Gelesia who currently resides there. I never have any idea where my readers are from except for Seattle – so LA readers if you’re out there, here’s a blog that you can check out with information on what’s going on in your neighborhood.

Perfecting the Bitchface – Not As Easy As You Think
“STEP ONE: Look as much like you don’t care as possible. Remember, the opposite of love isn’t hate, it’s indifference! So keep a straight face, and don’t flinch. (It always helps me to pretend I am a corpse.) If you’re one of those god-awful people who look all cheerful all the time, whose faces just naturally fall into a smile of any kind, you might have to use a little extra muscle to keep it looking like an emoticon.“
Is it possible to adore Tavi anymore than we already do right now? I don’t think so. Tavi’s got a successful blog and an online ‘zine that oozes coolness. Have I mentioned that she’s only 15 years old? Practically in every post that I ever write about her.

The One-Cent Wedding Dress
Earlier this summer, I believed that I had found the steal of the season when I purchased my first pair of Frye boots at Urban Outfitters for $40, but it seems as if another dating blogger has had the same luck – maybe even better luck than I did. Yue Xu of Singlefied was perusing the racks of Nordstrom Rack recently when she came across a true gem – a Jessica McClintock bridal gown for just $0.01. The dress has been marked down to a penny after having a retail price of $275. Sound too good to be true? Well Xu then had the manager double check on the dress for her by typing in the SKU into the register, but even after several times, the dress’s price was still just a penny. The retailer decided that they would honor the price, which isn’t too surprising to me because Nordstrom as a retailer has always had a great reputation of doing just that. Xu, however, didn’t need the wedding dress because she wasn’t engaged, but she couldn’t let the dress go to waste. She bought it for a penny and is now giving it away to one of her lucky readers.

The Importance of Partying Responsibly
I just realized that the headline may be a little misleading, but even if I decided to change it now, I wouldn’t know what to change it to. This post is not about the responsibilities of drinking or anything related to that at all. This post is actually inspired by a post I read on Hello Giggles a couple days ago called “Confessions of a Wannabe Party Girl.” So how exactly does that tie into partying responsibly?
During my stay in Seattle this summer, I have been tempted with the opportunities to go out with my friends. Unfortunately for some of my friends, I am the girl that makes excuses. I make excuses for my health, for my work, for my television schedule etc and because of that, I’ve missed out on some great nights. The nights that I have gone out though have been some of my favorite times from this past summer and a part of me wishes I had more of those. Going out should never be about the drinks that you consume, but about the company that you are with and Hello Giggles explains that perfectly along with other pieces of advice such as “Go home when you are still having fun” and How I Met Your Mother’s famous reference “Nothing good happens after 2AM.”
I don’t want to look back on my summer and remember myself as being a workaholic cause I’m pretty sure I have the rest of my life to do that. I was hesitant about going out often in the first place because I was worried about becoming like the bros at Seattle U that I didn’t want to become, but now that I know I won’t ever be I suppose I’m in the clear. I’m young. I like to go out. I like my friends. I sound like that little girl re-affirming myself in the mirror.
Savage Love
Dan Savage is known for his racy sex columnist on the “Slog” blog produced by Seattle’s The Stranger. In fact, his “Savage Love” column is so popular, HBO is trying to get him his own show and they have begun shooting the pilot today. I doubt anyone is even thinking about this, but what come to mind is the kind of potential this creates for Seattle and even The Stranger…
Apparently, if everything works out, it will become the next “Sex and the City.”
“The show will “focus on current events and cultural trends with sex as the filter.”
“I’m hoping to bring a new kind of conversation to TV about sex–an honest conversation, one that’s informed without being (too) wonky, funny without being (too) cruel, sexy without being (too) cheesy. Basically, my sex-advice column–but on the teevee!” Savage wrote on his blog, the Slog.”

Can’t wait to read it.
Metrodad gives necessary advice to his daughter and others.
This is probably one of my favorite blogs to read during my daily perusing. Metrodad recently did a post entitled “25 life lessons for my daughter,” but in fact these are life lessons that everyone should take to heart.
Therefore, I am passing it on to you in hopes that you will all enlighten yourself with something new today.
Who’s Blog is this? DIGGY’S BLOG!
One of my favorite past time shows on MTV is Run’s House. I haven’t been watching this new season lately, but while I was just doing my blog roll I stumbled upon some news that Diggy, one of Run’s sons actually has his own blog.
Well, I needed to check it out.
He’s had it for about as long as I have and I discovered he’s very into architecture and fashion. Some of his own links on his blog are websites that I look towards for news.

MetroDad
So Kevin told me about this blog the other day called MetroDad. It’s about this guy who lives in New York and created the blog to talk about his transition into fatherhood with “Peanut.” At first, I didn’t really know what the blog was about but then I got to reading and realized that this guy is fucking hilarious.
I enjoy his stories. I feel like I relate to his daughter and not just cause we’re both Asian. But I actually find myself sitting at my lap top laughing over his posts. So anyways, you should check it out here.
I stoled this picture off of his blog cause it was just too cute and I wish I was as cute as this girl when I was her age. Jealousy.
“Peanut invites you to have some moar butter.”
Totally Not Racist
I recently came across this site called, “Stuff White People Like,” and it’s basically … what the title is. It’s a list of things, leisurely activities that many Caucasian people enjoy apparently. Anyways here’s an excerpt on Moleskin Notebooks
“Since all white people consider themselves to be “creative,” they are constantly in need of products and accessories that will allow them to capture their thoughts. One of the more popular products in recent years has been the Moleskine notebook… Not only does this help them keep their thoughts organized, but it serves as a signal to the other white people in the shop that the owner of both instruments is truly creative. It screams: ‘I’m not using my computer to check email and read celebrity gossip, I’m using it to create art. Please ask me about it.’”
